Synopsis: The Duchess of Richmond's ball - Brussels, June 15th, 1815 - the eve of Waterloo. There is still time for romance, for the lovely, shocking young widow, Lady Barbara Childe, to trifle with Charles Audley, aide-de-camp to the great Duke of Wellington. At dawn the army must march, leaving a silent city of women awaiting the distant thunder of guns...
An Infamous Army is a novel by Georgette Heyer. In this novel Heyer combines her penchant for meticulously researched historical novels with her more popular period romances. So in addition to being a Regency romance, it is one of the most historically accurate and vividly narrated descriptions of the Battle of Waterloo. An Infamous Army completes the sequence begun with These Old Shades and is also a sequel to Regency Buck.
